The only possible reason you can only play as SAM is by using a known bad crack!

Are you SURE you have an original copy? Seeing as there are NO OFFICIAL PATCHES for this game try EA Tech Support:

There is some info on your problem that states you should not use any modified files, and to totally uninstall and then manually delete the game folder form your system and reinstall from the original media. If you still cannot select any other character except SAM even when using your original CD's, contact EA Tech Support via e-mail and explain your problem.
